MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play crucial roles in regulating various biological processes in crustaceans, including stress responses. Under acute low salinity stress conditions, miRNAs exhibit dynamic expression patterns that significantly influence the physiological and molecular responses of the shrimp. However, research on miRNAs in is very limited, and their functions under low salinity stress remain unclear. In this study, by using high-throughput sequencing technology, we identified miRNAs and investigated their regulatory mechanism in under low salinity stress. A total of 118 miRNAs were differentially expressed after low salinity exposure. These miRNAs were found to target genes involved in metabolism, pathogen infection, immune response and stress signaling pathways. By modulating the expression of these target genes, miRNAs were able to fine-tune the stress response of , thereby enhancing its tolerance to low salinity. This study provides new insights into the regulatory roles of miRNAs in the stress response of aquatic organisms and suggests potential targets for genetic improvement to enhance stress tolerance in aquaculture.

Accurately assessing saltiness perception in solid foods is essential for the development of low-sodium foods that maintain saltiness despite possessing a lower sodium content. This study aimed to develop a practical system for evaluating human-perceived saltiness during oral processing, particularly when food was initially placed on the tongue. As a basis for system design, sensory evaluations demonstrated that higher local salt concentrations (inhomogeneous distribution) on the tongue significantly enhanced perceived saltiness intensity compared to a homogeneous distribution, despite equal total salt content.

The effect of mixed potable and wastewater (WW) irrigation on leafy vegetables cultivated in southern Tehran, Iran, was investigated in 2022. Eight species-spinach (Spinacia oleracea), scallion (Allium fistulosum), radish (Raphanus sativus), cress (Lepidium sativum), basil (Ocimum basilicum), purslane (Portulaca oleracea), cilantro (Coriandrum sativum), and savory (Satureja hortensis)-were grown in calcareous loamy soil under greenhouse conditions using five irrigation regimes (0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% WW) applied every 2 days. Soil salinity, DTPA-extractable Co, Cu, Ni, and Zn, plant growth traits, and health risk indices-transfer factor (TF), bioaccumulation factor (BAF), average daily dietary intake (ADD), hazard quotient (HQ), and cancer risk (CR)-were determined for children and adults.

Two-dimensional (2D) nanofluidic architectures with nanoconfined interlayer channels and excess surface charges have revolutionized membrane-based reverse electrodialysis systems, demonstrating highly efficient osmotic energy collection through strong electrostatic screening of electric double layer (EDL). However, the ion-transport dynamics in 2D nanofluidic anion-selective membranes (2D-NAMs) still remain unexplored. Here, we combine density functional theory and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to systematically explore ion transport in the 2D-NAMs.

Excessive use of conventional potassium chloride (KCl) fertilizer has led to soil degradation problems such as compaction and salinization. While controlled-release potassium chloride (CRK) fertilizer has the potential to enhance crop productivity and mitigate these problems, its impact on soil quality (SQ) remains unclear. In this study, four potassium (K) fertilization treatments were established: no K application (CK), conventional KCl fertilizer (CRK0), 50 % substitution with CRK (CRK0.

Marine heatwaves (MHWs) are increasing in frequency and intensity worldwide, significantly impacting marine ecosystems. However, studies on phytoplankton community changes in coastal waters under such conditions remain. In the summer of 2024, an extreme high-temperature event (>28 °C) occurred in the southern coastal waters of Korea, providing an opportunity to investigate phytoplankton community dynamics under thermal stress.
